What is the Ramah Jerusalem Day Camp? |
Highlights of a Previous Summer
During the summer of 2007
113 children from Israel and abroad were enrolled at camp, with an average
of 53 campers each week. Campers enjoyed the warm, intimate atmosphere that
encouraged the integration of all the campers into an extended "camp
family." Our staff did a wonderful job using their talents, creativity
and endless energy to ensure a successful summer experience for our campers.
The theme for 2007 was "Jerusalem." Each week we celebrated 40 years since the reunification of this amazing city, as we learned about everything from the Holy Temple and the Western Wall to the biblical animals that call Jerusalem home. At our weekly Oneg Shabbat programs we reflected on what we had learned, sang some Shabbat songs, heard a d'var Torah, and watched skits performed by every camper at the JDC.
With the help of a talented
staff, we were able to offer arts and crafts, sports, music, Israeli dancing,
and drama to our campers on a daily basis. In addition, campers went swimming
almost every day, played games and planned special activities with their groups,
and made new friends.
We look forward to another
wonderful summer in 2008.
